Re: Does Anyone have Legs that ACHE?

[Guest guest]

Yes, and if I didn't hurt so bad in my back and hands, I would put on support

hose as that helps.

I have also found that walking around the house, after I get up in the

morning and make my ablutions, helps start the day without so much aching.

Also, when I sit, I always sit in my LazyBoy rocker and I rock, patting my

feet so as to work those leg muscles and keep the blood flowing.

I try to get in a half hour walk every other day (even if I have to stop and

rest several times while walking) as walking helps more capitularies to

develop and the muscles moving help milk out the old blood and the fatigue

and pain chemicals.

When I ride in a car, I sit there and pat my feet and do glut crunches as

that seems to help, too.

Hi Judy,

I have the same problem. My legs ache and I get a hot searing pain

down the side and into my knee. I don't drive at all because of it. Even when

I'm a passenger I don't feel so great afterwards.

[Guest guest]

I am thinking the right question is, Does anyone have legs that do NOT ache?

I can't sleep on my side because of all the pressure points that are set off.

When they go off during the day and the exercises and walking I described in

an earlier posting don't do it, I sit and watch TV a couple hours while doing

accupressure at the million spots from my hip to my foot. While rocking and

squeezing the abs and gluts, if possible, or taking turns. Not just rocking,

but vigourously, using my feet patting up and down and my tummy and butt

muscles squeezed, held, then relaxed.

Both my dad and husband have the same complaints so I am not sure this is a

Fibro thing. Dad wears the hospital weight support socks every day and hubby

wears thigh high (almost to the knees) elasticized hose, even in the summer.

I wish it didn't hurt my hands and back so much to put them on because they

really help. My sister with fibro sometimes wears her hospital weight socks

to bed.

Yes! I work at a grocery store as a cashier and I used to work 8 hour

shifts, then went down to 6 1/2 and am lucky that school is out because now I

can only work 3 to 4 hour shifts (depending on hubby's hours at work and my

son's summer services). The 8 hour shifts practically killed my legs (and my

wrist from the twisting as I'm scanning the groceries...figure I'm working on

carpal tunnel), the 6 1/2 hour shifts during the school year were horrible,

and even the 3 and 4 hour shifts are uncomfortable but doable. By the time I

get home I am exhausted but I can't sleep because of the pain in my legs.

And I've noticed muscle twitches also. UGH! I can't quit though because I

can't do a job that requires much brain function (because I just don't have

much brain left) and I can't do fast food anymore (the one job that I didn't

have too much pain with because I was always moving) because my hands break

out whenever I come into contact with any cleaner and a lot of food products.

Oh well, such is life. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it and

start looking into other pain meds as ibuprofin just isn't doing the trick

anymore

Sorry I rambled...

Judy,

Yes, my legs ache, and it drives me crazy. I have a desk job, and it's all I

can do to stay sane through the day. I just try to move around as much as

possible, but it's hard when you're expected to be tied to a desk most of the

day.

Take care.

Hi Margaret, Will you explain to me what is a social psychologist? Thanks Audie

Judy,

I think all of us have this. My muscles cramp and ache if I sit too

long, driving has become a misery. My hips and butt are the absolute

worst. Some days I can't stand it. You're not alone.

A good, long, hot bath once or twice a day goes a long way towards help, too.

I find that pain from the hip down to the foot (I call if flank pain) takes

quite a bit work to get relief-from meds to accupresssure, to walking, to

exercising the legs in a rocking chair or while sitting in the car, to

sleeping on my back, etc. I have to do them all. Until I caught onto the

combination of technques that worked for me, flank pain used to control my

Hi Judy

Oh yes, my legs do ache and are so weak. The only way I can explain them is

to say they feel like jello so much. I do drive but not very often. It hurts

my leg to even push on the exclerator. I love my cruise control. I used to

be the type of person that would get in the car and go anywhere. I would

drive 500 or 1000 miles by myself, now I am lucky to drive 10 minutes down

the road.

I am going to a pain specialist next Friday. I only hope she can help me

with ALL my aches and pains. Good Luck to you and Gentle Hugs

My legs ache all the time. They ache more so when it's colder out. It really

sucks. Long drives are bad too. My family lives 1 1/2 hrs away and my in-laws

live 2 hrs away. Even when driving from my families home to my in-laws. So,

before we drive I take my muscle relaxer. Luckily my husband does most of the

driving. So, don't feel feel alone. For every symptom one has there is the same

symptom someone else here has. When I have the aches here at home I use my

heating pad. It helps alot. Well, I wish you all a good, pain free day.
